Background
Speaking to Le Parisien, Amir said that he had written this song well before the lockdown to protect against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In fact, in December 2019 he had started work on his next album, which is due to be released in autumn 2020. Amir the song to be the perfect song for post-lockdown life as it fits perfectly with everyone's anticipation to party this summer and to encourage people to still enjoy life despite everything, "I want it to become the song where at each party with friends, in your house or in a bar or on vacation, you will put it on and that's when everyone will lose it, throw towels in the air, raise their glasses and dance like crazy."[2]
Critical reception
Jonathan Vautrey from Wiwibloggs said, "Starting with an electric guitar riff, the song utilises a mixture of percussion instrumentation. While not a full-on party feel as the title might suggest, the melody is still relatively danceable. Lyrically, Amir sings about forgetting your troubles and enjoying life to its fullest: 'You're tired from yesterday again / It's nothing / We'll think about it tomorrow … We were all born to party / As if we'd never done it before'."[3]

A music video to accompany the release of "La fête" was first released onto YouTube on 17 June 2020.[4]
